TIE sIGN-wRITERs' HARVEST.
The men who construct bulletin boards
and paint thereon the names of the new
real estate firms as they enter into bisi-
ness are the best patronized class in Lin
coin at the present time. A newspaper
that would find the new real estate firms
that were started the past week would
find that an even dozen would fail short
OF the number of firms new to business in
that time. The time has arrived when
the business man is importuned for a
corner by the window, when every law
Office has desk devoted to real estate;
every man OF them is an especial friend
of the sign-writer, whose list of new ac-
quantances is prodigious.

PINNED TO HIS SEAT.
Discovering a Remedy Against Cock
tails Between the Acts.

New York Star: 1t is very good story
which a genial friend of ours tells about II
young man of his acquaintance. The
young man, it seems, is good look
ing, OF nice family, and good deal Of
a favorte with the ladies. But he is al
neatly trimmed with lemon and things
and served in cut glass-so fond, indeed,
that some of the careful girls have Of
late fought shy of his escort to places of
amusement. One day last week he invited
a young lady to go and see "The Harbor
Lights, says the Baltimore American. She
wanted to see the play, and, the truth is,
rather liked TOm---we will call the young
man Tom for short but she hesitated
about accepting the invitation. ii er
friends advised her to decline and warn.
ed her that, If she accepted Tom would
leave her alone few minutes after every
act, while he was out interviewing the
nearest barkeeper.
"Oh, no, he wouldn't do that" SAID
the young lady.
Yes, but he would" the advisers re-
last, and went out three times and came
IN chewing cloves and coffee, and En-
was so mortified that she says
"But he wouldn't leave me alone in the
theater, know" the young lady re-
torted, confidently; "and to prove it will
accept his invitation"
On the way to the theater Tom was all
gallantry, and the curtain once up he
was greatly interested in the drama. Blu t
at the end of the first act he made brief
apology to the effect that he wished to
speak with friend whom he saw stand
ing in the foyer, and rose to go. But he
didn't go. Something seemed to take
hold of his coat tails and pull him back
into his seat Imagine poor Toms cha
| grin and surprise when seconds in
Yestigation showed him that his fair
| companion, who sat with such an in.
nocent look in her brown eyes, had
| pinned his coat to the upholsterng
| of the seat with good, strong safety
pin. Toms face felt as If it was on a
broiler, and cold wave or two ran up
and down his spinal column, but he
didn't say word. Nor did he leave his
seat until the curtain fell on the happy
denouement in the play. The end of the
little drama in the dress circle seats was
equally agreeable, for on the way out
Tom smilingly confessed that the joke
was on him and the reproOf merited
one. He also promised that if again
given the pleasure of escorting his
charming companion to the theatre, nc
safety pins would be needed to keep hin
in his seat.
81 hope he will marry that GIRL" addec
our genial friend, because if he doe!
she'll reform him and make man Ou
of him as sure as guns"

SOME EXCUSES.
Plausible Explanations That May BE
Useful to Some Married Men.

(All married men and all contemplat-
ing matrimOny will find it to their advan-
tage to carefully memorize the following
list of plausible excuses for coming home
at 2. a. m. or later. They have been com.
piled for Tid-Bits by benedict of long
experience.)
You may state that:
You dropped in to zee friend and
found him dangerously ill with the
rheumatism. and remained at his urgent
request to cheer him with sprightly rep
artee;
You met a clergyman who used to be
one of your college friends, and yielded to
mis- pressing invitation to accompany him
home you have spent the evening in his
study engaged in discussion on heather
missions;
You have been at tn eoffice looking over
the books, and are too tired and worried
to talk;
The clock in wrong;
You have been discussing great
money-making scheme with a well known
tinancier; and if your expectations are
realized she shall have new sealskln
sacque;
Your watch stopped, and you had no
idea that it was so late.
You have been down town with news
paper man and you have been watching
the process Of printing great morning
paper (This is an original and good eX-
cuse. Try to enthuse little about the
giant presses, the horny. handed work
men, etc.
You have been to a tenement house
fire and have been assisting the poor dis
tressed inmates to remove their goods to
places of safety. State that your heart
bled at the spectacles of abject poverty
which you then witnessed.
You were run over by truck on your
way home at 10 O'Clock; yoa were taken
to a drug store; you would not permit
the bystanders to send for your family
because you felt that you would soon be
and think that all you need is perfect

Got to stop.

1t has been common practice for a
long time past i'll this town for man
when he sells out his saloon business
to transfer his liquor license to his
successor, who keeps right on selling
under the old license, only giving new,
or reobligating the old bondsmen.
Every official and every business man
knows that this has been done in open
violation of the law, but with all the
machinery against them, 40 ordinary
citizen has cared to raise any objection
To the practice, caring very little I'M
der whose or what license the stuff
was sold, SO long as it must be sold.
But test case has been made this
week in the case of Mr. Kane who sue
ceeds Mr.. Newton in the saloon bust
ness on Second street. Mr. Kane has
been selling under hlr. Newton 5
license, and on Thursday last Judge
Rogers, of the West End, settled the
case and the question, by declaring
Mr.. Kane guilty of violating the law
and imposing fine Of 500 We do
not understand that any other pros
ecutions are to follow-unless this de
cision is defed but all those selling
under such license must stop until
they can take out new license of
their own. This decision will either

good many dollars into the Village

The News says the Minnesota &
Northwestern is going to build into
Duluth, and after this the st. Paul
and Duluth people are going to build
spur track into the st. Paul stock
yards. Just why the latter road
shoRld thus punish the former for go
ing TO Duluth is not explained by the
News, but we the presume it is be-
cause Duluth thinks that one road
Is quite enough for them and do not
want to see their one pioneer road in
jurpd by any rival. We are inclined
TO think, however, that tie real facts
in the case are that the Minnesota &
Northwestern road is only going
toward Duluth as far as Superior, and
that the St. Paul q Duluth i putting

From the rUjuth News:
In an interview with VIII Harring-
ton, editor Of he Iron Journal, that
gentleman expressed the opinion that
Duluth papers couldn't say too much
about the Importance OF imediately
starting 4 smelter in Duluth. Said he
"John Birkinbine was talking with
me recently when was in Chicago,
and he said that Duluth was the prop
err place for furnaces and rolling mills.
He said that it would be an easy mat
t r to establish a plant as far as mon
ey was concerned. 1t would take only
$1,000 to put in furnace that
woald smelt from sixty to seventy
tons Of ore per dly, and for 100000 a
rail mill could hc added 10 it, making
complete plant for rails. \ first
class plant can be established for $500.

right away either Superior or one of
